Corvette C8 Z06 - looking to buy

[Mingwan]

I wonder how many people spent over msrp for the new Z06.lol

There’s several available around me priced ridiculously high, and a few that have been sitting around priced at msrp. So it looks like if you do your homework, you can get a Z06 for msrp, it just might not be the exact specs you want.

I’ve ironically had a more difficult time finding CTR’s for msrp than the new Z06 lol.

Takes what? 2 minutes? Tops?

2 minutes is longer than he lasts with his gf in the Tesla model 3.

Anyone with a smartphone when they buy a new car whips their phone out and snaps a pic right off the bat before they leave the dealership. I did last year when I bought my last car.

Lots of people did. It’s the car of the century.

I got on the wait list early at an msrp dealer so I knew I was going to pay msrp. All I had to do was wait.

People waited to see YouTube videos of it and went oh man I need to have that American Ferrari but it was too late because wait lists were years and years of wait time.

I’m half way through break in so I can’t give my full experience on redline but so far, car is a monster. A road legal race car.

Which dealers have cars sitting at MSRP right now? Haven’t seen any yet. I’m in for one. The ones you see listed online showing MSRP are sold orders 100% of the time.

Today is picture day, just like elementary school!

I am on both the ERay and Z06 lists. I’m certain I’ll pop on the ERay first and it is a compelling platform to me.

The car just hit 7k miles and I've been offered around original MSRP for it (~140K). I will say, having also owned 991.2 cars and lot of experience driving the 992, sans the 992 GT cars, it's a much more fun, enjoyable experience over the 992 Carrera cars which are good but just find the turbo motor to be a bit lackluster (S58 in my G80 is a better engine IMO).

The prices of the 992s are out of hand. Even a base 911 these days is 130-140K...and upwards of 250K for some of the GTS variants is almost laughable.

Nice ride, we don’t agree on EV at least I can admire your taste in ICE

Thank you! It’s like people can’t sense sarcasm on this forum and I guess some trolling too lol.

I love ICE as much as anyone here. Just look at the driveway while my model 3 gets no love and parked outside on the street.

If someone offered you $130k+ for a 991.1 you should take that and run. There’s always another car out there.

I have zero horny for any 911 with a turbo in it, even THE Turbo. It loses it's spirit as a sports car.

This all comes down to, what else is there in that price range and of similar age? Other than an R8, I can't think of much.

991.1 S market prices are like $65-100k depending on mileage and spec. $130k is so ridiculously far over market that this would have to be the “I’m never selling it” car to turn down that kind of offer (unless you’re rich and just don’t care). You can get a highly spec’d low mileage 991.1 GTS for less. Lot of options in that price range. To each their own.
